Elsewhere.
Inside the Skullcrusher camp.
Skullcrusher Shah did not adhere to the plan agreed upon with Bloodthroat last night. Even by midday, he had not initiated an attack.
Orcs are generally impulsive and reluctant to think, but that doesn’t mean they’re brainless.
The more intense the battle at the troll’s end, the easier it is for them.
Once the trolls suffer heavy casualties and their own troops are readily available, the previous division of interests will have to be renegotiated.
“Any news from the trolls?” asked Shah.
“Three hours ago, Bloodthroat sent a message asking about the battle situation, and there has been no message since,” an orc immediately answered.
“It’s about time. Notify everyone; all legions prepare to depart.”
“Yes, Great Chief.”
The guards were about to relay the order when the sound of running footsteps came from outside the door.
An orc charged in hastily, speaking before Shah could ask, “Great Chief, a scout has spotted the undead, they are approaching the camp.”
Shah’s eyebrows furrowed, before quickly relaxing, and he snorted coldly, “Those boneheads dare to come out, they really are a bunch of fools.”
The main force of the undead must have been deployed to the Blood Mountain Range to withstand the trolls.
If those boneheads stayed in the city and didn’t come out, their siege would require quite some effort.
Who would have thought that these brainless guys actually came out.
“How many are there on the other side?” Shah asked nonchalantly.
“According to the scout, there are about two to three hundred thousand.”
Shah’s eyebrows furrowed again, so many.
Did Bloodthroat also play tricks on him, not launching an attack this morning?
Tramp, tramp, tramp!
Just as Shah was cursing Bloodthroat for his shamelessness in his heart, several footsteps sounded outside the door again.
Three guards walked in, knelt on one knee, “Great Chief, an undead army has been spotted on the left side of the camp.”
“Great Chief, an undead army has been spotted on the southern side.”
“An undead army has been spotted at the rear.”
The three guards finished speaking and looked at each other in surprise.
What’s going on? We’re surrounded by the undead.
Shah’s face also darkened, how can there be so many undead troops? This wasn’t as reported.
“Let’s go out and take a look, notify all legions to prepare for battle.” Picking up his large hammer, Shah led the way out of the camp.
Upon climbing the simple defense wall of the camp, he saw a dense White Bone Army appearing all around.
In a square formation, they were slowly closing in.
“Prepare for battle, what are you waiting for, prepare for battle.” Skullcrusher’s heart trembled as he roared orders.
Who the hell am I fighting against that there are so many undeads?
The orc camp was instantly in chaos, hastily retreating to their own camp.
Fireblade and Bronze Bull were advancing swiftly.
A Tauren warrior ran over, whispering, “The orc camp is gathering troops, the airborne cavalry has set out, looking at their route, they seem to be bypassing the army to the city in the rear.”
Fireblade looked up to see hundreds of orc airborne units flying past the main force towards the city in the rear.
“The Skeleton Giant Bats are to intercept all orc airborne units. None are allowed to get through to the rear alive.”
Roar Rahh!
Tens of thousands of Skeleton Giant Bats flew up from the team in groups, rushing towards the orc airborne units.
“These guys, clearly they’re the attackers, but they want us to come to them.” Zhang Bin commented from the side.
This time as a ‘messenger’, he was stuffed in by Fang Hao.
No need for him to join the fight, just get some exposure to large-scale battles, and report the situation on the battlefield to him in real-time.
“Yeah.” Fireblade answered.
According to Little You’s intelligence.
Early this morning, Skullcrusher and Bloodthroat would launch simultaneous attacks. As soon as it was morning, Fireblade and Bronze Bull had deployed their troops waiting for Skullcrusher’s attack.
But they waited left and right. Several hours passed, and there was no sign of the enemy’s troops.
Fearing that Skullcrusher would make a detour to attack the main city, Fireblade assigned scouts to check the situation.
Finally, they found out.
These guys were still in the camp, yet to come out.
Fireblade and Bronze Bull discussed it and changed their strategy directly. They encircled the place where the orcs were camping and started to shrink the encirclement.
Once inside the encirclement, no Skullcrusher can escape.
“Lord Fireblade, we are now within bow and arrow range.” Someone came to report again.
“Archers attack.”
“Yes.”
Skeleton archers assumed a steady shooting position, drawing their bows and nocking arrows, covering the entire orc camp with their attack.
Whoosh!
Arrows whistled out, showering down across them in a dense rain.
Faced with the orcs returning fire from a distance, arrows rattled as they fell.
Fireblade continued to issue orders, accelerating the advance.
The undead army rapidly shrank its encirclement.
300,000 orcs against a million undead.
This battle was a foregone conclusion.
Fireblade blew his horn, the ranged soldiers ceased their attack, all melee units began to charge.
They charged into Skullcrusher’s camp from all sides.
At the Blood Mountain Range.
The Undead Army charged towards the troll army like a raging tsunami.
The trolls, being almost four meters tall, were covered by the dense undead soldiers who trampled and stacked on each other, exceeding the trolls in height.
The whole field was filled with shouts and the sound of weapons clashing.
On the cliff.
With groups of Skeleton Giant Bats, Blood Hunter remained unseen to the trolls.
They descended the cliff, coming directly above the Dragon-Lock Crossbows.
It was these crossbows that made the Bone Dragons dare not approach, resulting in two casualties already.
“Kill them, dismantle these things!” Blood Hunter pointed with his longsword, and all the Skeleton Giant Bats, like swallows returning to their nest, charged towards the artillery troops.
